| Not included / additional costs | The Spring Program fee does not include: Round-trip airfare between Japan and San Diego (participants purchase their own tickets), overseas travel insurance, lunch and dinner, personal transport outside the program, and personal expenses such as souvenirs and communications. Bank transfer fees are borne by the participant. |
| Payment method | Bank transfer in Japanese yen against an invoice issued by Eigo Pro LLC. Account details are stated on the invoice. No other payment method (credit card, etc.) is accepted. |

| How to apply / application deadline | Apply through the application page on this site (https://fgl.academy/apply). The application deadline is December 15, 2026. Chuo University students also apply through the application page on this site themselves, not through their university (the Chuo application window is September 1–8, 2026). Only University of Tokyo students apply through their own university's internal process. |
| Cancellation and refund terms | Cancellation of the Spring Program is handled as follows: - Up to 45 days before the program start date: the program fee is refunded in full, less the JPY 43,400 application fee per person. - Less than 45 days before the program start date: the program fee is not refundable. The JPY 43,400 application fee is non-refundable once transferred. Exception: if a participant is not a Japanese national and is unable to obtain a visa, the application fee is refunded provided the request is made at least 14 days before the program start date. If the program itself is cancelled, all monies including the application fee are refunded. To keep the program's price structure sustainable, apart from the exceptions provided above, these terms are applied strictly. This service is a mail-order sale (通信販売), so the statutory cooling-off right does not apply; the terms in this row govern cancellations and refunds. |
| Non-performance / program cancellation | Eigo Pro LLC may cancel the program if the number of participants is insufficient or if unforeseen circumstances prevent it from being held. In that case the full amount paid, including the application fee, is refunded. If the service is not provided due to causes attributable to Eigo Pro LLC, the full amount paid, including the application fee, will be refunded, or an alternative service will be offered. Eigo Pro LLC is not responsible for additional costs a participant incurs in connection with their own travel, such as flight delays or cancellations, illness, non-refundable air tickets, or penalties arising from changing or cancelling tickets. |
